This is a great idea - thanks!

I've been a chalk artist since Christmas of 1999, I even attended three week-long chalk art classes. I still do it my own way - lol. That's okay, it's the story of my life. If there were a lot of absolute rules to follow, it wouldn't be art, would it...?

My biggest challenge currently is to put together sound tracks to go along with each picture. When I try to speak and paint at the same time, the quality of both is compromised. I don't want to just put some music on, so I use scripture readings as well. This works well, because my style involves illustrating Biblical stories. I was trained as a Baptist preacher, so preaching is inevitable (though it slows the process), so I need to be able to have some direct control over the sound track. Has anyone on here ever addressed the same problem? What do you use - a remote control, a foot pedal?"


During this presentation, I use Mozart when I'm drawing the waves and foam. During the speedy parts of the music, I get a laugh by drawing with a flourish . When I draw each disciple, I talk about the individual's personality (that's Judas holding on to the mast). It is effective, but I have to keep communicating with whoever is running the sound board to start/stop each track. I've changed the uv image, and the sea is different now as well.

Greetings Jerry! Thanks for joining the gang here at The Loft! Nice photo of the chalk design and description too. Keep 'em coming.

Hey, I tried to answer your question regarding the starting and stopping of your chalk track at this thread:

I hope it helps in some way. If not, let me know and I'll try again.

Looking forward to seeing more of your posts here at The Loft,
